Questions about clomid and Dr

Ok so a week ago my dr prescribed me clomid for days 3 to 7. She did no testing then as a matter of fact i haven't had an ultrasound in 3 months at least. Im supposed to start taking it tomorrow. I'm worried because I've read online that you're supposed to be tested to make sure you don't have cyst prior to taking medication and right after. My next dr appt isn't till November. I do have a history multiple cyst. Should i be concerned or just go ahead?

I have been on Femara for the past year. Although Femara is not clomid it works similarly to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles. My dr will not prescribe Femara unless I have an ultrasound on CD 3 to rule out cysts. Cysts can grow under the influence of the medication and can potentially rupture. There are cases when cysts grow very large and can twist the ovary. I would call the dr's office again and voice the concern of yours. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I just recently took clomid and triggered last monday (first timers). Our initial plan was to try Clomid + trigger in August, but when I went in for my ultra sound, they found a cyst on my left ovary. I was told we would have to skip August because taking clomid while having a cyst is not beneficial or effective in getting pregnant. The dr. told me that they needed to see what the cyst looked like the following month to make sure it wasn't hormonal and to see if there was any change. Also, they mentioned that Clomid could also cause cysts. If I were you, I would speak with your dr. and have an ultra sound done. Hope this helps! Good luck
